Back when the original iPhone first launched I bought a case for my phone to keep it from being scratched up. I was beyond mad three weeks later when I took the case off to clean the iPhone and found that the case had caused scratches that I expected it to prevent.

Speck has announced a new line of cases that are hard on the outside and have a soft rubberized coating on the inside to prevent scratches called the CandyShell cases. The case is available in black, blue, purple, white, and pink colors with the cases having a two-tone design.

The outer shell is glossy and the cases ship with a screen protector film and a cleaning cloth. Speck promises that the wide openings in the case make the iPhone ports and controls accessible and the phone can be docked without removing it from the case. The cases retail for $34.95.
